Chapter 204: Mana Around the Heart (3)
"Umm...that was unexpected," James said suddenly, thinking like those who were watching him.
However, that was not what he should be thinking about right now, he still had to eat the heart of the ice dragon, which was still filled with poison.
Reaching into his inventory, he pulled out the ice dragon's heart and then took a huge bite. The fact that he had gained the blood element made more sense than necessary. After all, James had eaten the heart of a dragon, and it was raw, and that alone raised the sacredness within him to a colossal level.
After he had chewed and swallowed the dragon's heart, it had settled back into his body and he realised that the mana that had remained in his body from the previous ring formation was beginning to coalesce.
After a short time, he finished eating the dragon's heart and then closed his eyes. He thought that the sixth magic ring would not form so easily, but he had more than enough mana.
His body was overflowing with mana.
It seemed that the ice dragon he had killed was a dragon that was almost out of its youth, almost returning to the cycle of maturity. This seemed to explain to James why he had such a huge amount of mana.
James was really happy that he listened to Abby, with such a huge mana he would be able to create perhaps the sixth magic ring.
Closing his eyes again and focusing to meditate, this time he was able to look closer to his heart.
Indeed, as Abby had said, the element core was holding part of her aura as if it were another heart, wrapping around her heart. She had been so surprised only a few minutes ago that it had taken her an incredibly long time to realise it.
With that, it was time to try to form the sixth magic ring.
After gathering as much of his mana as he could, he began to spread it around his heart. He moved as fast as he could to create a draft again, and after almost fifteen minutes, he had created a draft of a ring almost twice as large as the one he had created only an hour ago.
He supposed that he had developed a good habit of doing the same thing he had just done, which was a good thing.
As James began to fill the draft of the sixth magic ring with mana, he felt his body begin to cool. First, he had been presented with heat, then stagnation, then death, then pain. This ring seemed to offer him cold.
After only half an hour, he had managed to fill the sixth magic ring with mana, and with that, he understood why he felt cold.
James's sixth magic ring was none other than the element ice, which represented stagnant cold.
When James carefully examined the ring around his heart, he could see that a deep coldness radiated from the sixth magic ring. The ring appeared to be refined to the purest white one anyone could see.
The defeat of the ice dragon's heart seemed to have predisposed James to the element of ice.
James, of course, was happy about this. He was both predisposed to the ice element, which many people wished to reach and connected with the blood element, which many people would kill thousands of people just to get an idea, even if they couldn't get it.
He had also managed to create the fifth and sixth magic rings, and his magical energy, his mana capacity, had become so great that he could use it continuously for half the day with the energy consumed by his Dark Step ability.
James stood up after all this and then took a deep breath. He realised that the cold he had felt when he had created the sixth magic ring had disappeared, and on top of that he had become incredibly resistant to the cold outside.
[It's been a long time since I've seen someone create two magic rings in a row like a pervert, James. Zeus might have been the last one to do it, although that maniac did create 6 rings in a row, but you get the point.]
James couldn't help but be surprised when he read this message from Poseidon, even if Zeus was not the most powerful god, he was certainly the leader of Olympus, he was underestimating the old man.
Stretching his body after reading the message, James slowly made his way towards the village, there was really nothing he could do right now since he could not go towards the mines and dig, the only thing he could do now was to go to the village, take a nice shower and rest for the day.
After that he had things to do, he had already made plans.
James returned to the village after a short time and was greeted by the surprised expressions of the villagers. James was covered in blood and the smell on him was beyond awful.
The black liquid that overflowed from his body was nothing but the dirt on his body. The more mana used and aura used, the more dirty liquid accumulated in the body and this slowed down the energy collection.
This meant that every time there was a big energy gain, dirty liquids would be released out of the body.
After a short time, James passed through everyone and entered the bathroom in Narbeth's house, after cleaning himself, he entered his room and lay down on the bed, then put his head on the pillow and immediately closed his eyes.
He seemed impatient to sleep, and already after almost two minutes he had fallen asleep, you could see how sleepy he was.
When he woke up after almost fifteen hours of sleep, he quickly found Ariel and the others. After rounding up the group, he indicated that they had something to talk about and that he wanted to tell them his plan. He had gathered the group incredibly quickly, everyone he wanted to talk to had gathered in front of him in almost half an hour.
When the group sat down to listen to James, the young man began to speak, what he had to say would be revolutionary for them.
